Description

In 1911 the Women's College Hospital & Dispensary opened in a six-room house near here at 18 Seaton Street. At a time when most hospitals excluded women doctors from their staffs, it provided a place to practice for graduates from the Ontario Medical College for Women on Sumach Street. It had a seven bed capacity with only one private room costing 15 dollars per week. In its first year of operation 114 patients were admitted and over 2,000 treated in the dispensary. In 1915 the hospital moved to larger quarters at 125 Rusholme Road. The house was demolished in 1960 during the building of the Moss Park Apartments.
